Wings attached
Attaching the wing outer panels is simple as they are butt joined. However, in order to get a proper dihedral, I had to tilt them up a bit and that opened a gap as can be seen
      To fix the gap I cut a thin strip from the spare colored part and covered the gap.   It is beginning to look like a plane. Isaac

Control surfaces
It is time to attach the rudder, elevators and aileron surfaces. I glued them in position as is. Only noticeable deflection is to the ailerons ( I made sure that the control column is tilted correctly.

Landing gear and aero balance surfaces
The landing gear is simple. Here are the parts.
 The wheels are laminated cardstock and the struts are rolled around a paperclip. The tail wheel is very small and for now as you see I did not connect the strut thru like a fork. That will be later.    The ailerons have a paddle like aerodynamic balancer as most aerobatic planes do.  Here is what it looks like now     There is something about the red color of the plane and the lighting I use that really messes up the pictures. I tried different setting, will probably have to find another room to photograph it. Anyhow That is all for now Isaac

Yes it is a neat plane and an interesting story as well.
I am close to finishing the plane. I have to finish the spinner / propeller and then vacuform a clear canopy . That will not be easy. I have the next Zelazny plane. It is the Zlin 50 from GPM. I may start that build and make both canopies together. Cheers Isaac
